Abstract

Passage of the Wilderness Act of 1964 and establishment of the National Wilderness Preservation System represent an historic achievement, an assertion of idealism in a materialist-powered society. The four federal land-management agencies, however, have failed to meet their legislative mandate. Thus Earth Day 1990 provides a singular opportunity to address the unfinished agenda with consideration of a new agency to be called the United States Wilderness Service.
